Weekend Re-Cap:
A big THANK YOU from all of us that put this race together (Myself, Carl Binius, Mike Weaks, Joe Fritz, William Spangler to all the diehard Ford racers, sponsors and fans that attended this event. The weather forecast was less than perfect but we actually got all three days in with just a little delay on Saturday morning. The turnout was impressive considering the forecast. We had participants from Maine, Texas, Iowa, Connecticut, New York and North Carolina just to name a few that I can remember.
I need to thank our sponsors for without their support this event could not happen:
Presenting Sponsor Performance Automatic
Harland Sharp
Trick Flow Specialties
Sarchione Ford
Complete Truck Service
Carl’s Ford Parts
Survival Motorsports
Mickey Thompson
I also would like to thank Ron and Mary Anne Matcham at Dragway 42 for their support and help making this event a success. What a great facility and an awesome track. Thank you to the entire Dragway 42 staff for a “JOB WELL DONE”
I need to also extend a big THANK YOU to the Race Director Joe Fritz and his staff Bill Spangler and Bill Oehlke for making this event run so smoothly. You guys did an outstanding job and I am very grateful.
With the low car count we decided to eliminate the two Quick 8 Classes but still payed out Low Qualifier bonus money. Congratulations to Randy Spohn (FE) with an 8.42 and Rich Kent with an 4.76 (I think) for being the low qualifiers.
Congratulations to all the winners and give away winners. One in particular I would like to recognize is our Sunday Bracket One winner Mandi DeLarec. For those that don’t know Miss Mandi she drives a bottom bulb Mustang and it is geared for 1/8 mile only. So she entered Bracket One against all the box cars and put in the Winners Circle for her first win at Dragway 42. Very Impressive Mandi.
Already looking forward to next years event. We learned a lot from this years event and promise a bigger and better event next year. Stay tuned……..
